The Croods: A New Age

'The Croods: A New Age' makes for a good sequel.

I didn't mind the original from 2013 (that long ago, eh?), I found it passable but did have to watch a recap video before watching this entry as I remembered absolutely nothing; aside from the first few scenes. I guess that's to be expected given the time gap, albeit I don't think I watched the first film until around 2019.

This one offers up enough entertainment, it does feature a type of story that is rather predictable but I think all the shenanigans keep it ticking along nicely and the voice cast are all very good. Nicolas Cage, Emma Stone and Ryan Reynolds (feels odd to see a Reynolds character not truly front and centre) reprise their roles well, as Leslie Mann and Peter Dinklage make for strong additions.

All in all, a worthy follow-up - I'd place it on the same level as its predecessor, to be honest.
